Day 6 - Yewon Jee

Is there a specific Bible passage or verse that comes to mind in the context of “Less of Me and More of Him”?

Numbers 9:22-23 “Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, abiding there, the people of Israel remained in camp and did not set out, but when it lifted they set out. 23 At the command of the Lord they camped, and at the command of the Lord they set out. They kept the charge of the Lord, at the command of the Lord by Moses.”

I believe that God has full control of my life. I hope to obey God and consult Him for every move in my life, just as the Israelites obeyed Him by following the pillar of cloud above the Tabernacle. I pray that God gives me an obedient heart so that “more of Him” can enter into my life and that I can be used as a vessel for His Kingdom. 

Briefly explain which areas of your life you find most difficult to surrender to Christ.

I find it difficult to surrender comfort. When I am comfortable with where I am socially, in my career, etc., I find it difficult to give these things up and let God change my surroundings. I am grateful that God is training me to be more comfortable with change in recent years. As I slowly break out of my comfort zone, God has allowed me to grow so much in Him. Although change is still difficult for me, I know that God will use every season that I am in for His purpose, and in that, I can find peace.

Share the areas of your life that have shifted from self-centeredness to Christ-centeredness.

I used to have a lot of pride in myself. I used to think that I was a good person and that I cared a lot for people. As I started my career and navigated through various relationships in my life, God revealed to me many areas where I fell short. I was only good to others when they were good to me, and I had a lot of anger inside of me. I shifted from self-centeredness to Christ-centeredness when I realized that I personally needed God, and that it was only through Him that I can be changed. There is still so much that I need to learn about living in Christ-centeredness. I hope to surrender many areas of my life before God, and let Him do His work inside of me. 

What are some practical ways you can display Christ to those around you?

I find it difficult to show the love of God at work, mainly when dealing with difficult situations and people. I pray that God will expand my ability to love on difficult patients/families and coworkers. I want to have a softer heart for my workplace and my coworkers. Reading the Word and saying a quick prayer before work has helped me stay grounded and focused on Him. I hope to utilize my commute times spending more time with God and centering my heart.
